Product Description:
ZEMVOGLI® – R is a fixed-dose combination of Voglibose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, and Repaglinide, a short-acting insulin secretagogue. It is specifically designed to control postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar spikes in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This dual approach targets both delayed carbohydrate absorption and stimulated insulin release, offering effective prandial glucose control without long-term hypoglycemia risk.
Key Benefits:
-
Controls blood sugar spikes after meals
-
Enhances early insulin release and delays glucose absorption
-
Reduces overall HbA1c levels
-
Low risk of prolonged hypoglycemia
-
Suitable for patients with high postprandial blood glucose
How it works:
-
Repaglinide stimulates rapid insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells to manage glucose spikes after food intake
-
Voglibose delays carbohydrate breakdown and absorption in the small intestine by inhibiting alpha-glucosidase enzymes
Together, they offer synergistic control of postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes.
How to use:
-
Take one tablet before each main meal, or as prescribed by your physician
-
Swallow whole with water, 15–30 minutes before food
-
Do not skip meals after taking the tablet
-
Monitor blood sugar regularly, especially after meals
Safety Advice:
-
May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort such as bloating or flatulence (due to Voglibose)
-
Risk of hypoglycemia increases if taken without meals — always eat after dosing
-
Avoid alcohol while on this medication
-
Check blood glucose frequently in the initial weeks of therapy
Precautions:
-
Not for use in type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
-
Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment, severe GI disorders, or chronic intestinal disease
-
Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed
-
Inform your doctor if you are taking other glucose-lowering medications or insulin
